Product Information

• Name: o-Isopropylaniline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: o-Isopropylaniline is an antimicrobial agent that is used as a corrosion inhibitor. It has been shown to be effective in the inhibition of population growth of bacteria and fungi. o-Isopropylaniline is mainly used in industrial settings, such as water treatment and oil production, where it prevents corrosion of metal surfaces. In addition, it is an important intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds such as anilines, amines, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. This chemical has been shown to have a potential use as a broad-spectrum antibiotic against Gram-positive bacteria including Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecalis. It also has significant activity against Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The mechanism of action for o-isopropylaniline is not well understood but may involve its ability to act as an irreversible oxidation agent by reacting with sulfhydryl groups
